Returning students may be registered for school on-line through their Skyward Family Access account. It is easier and faster than the standard paper registration forms. Families must have registered Skyward Family Access accounts in order to use the online registration tools.
All families are encouraged to register their Skyward Family Access account so they may keep track of their child’s school information.
If you do not have a Skyward account please email aprilhale@dekalbschools.net to get your account set up or stop by the Ernest Ray Education Center to speak with her if you have questions.
